Master bedroom has Cal King bed & private 3/4 bath and deck off the sliding door. Extra seating and small desk for private time makes this room a favorite.

2nd BR hosts a king-sized bed and antique furniture in this room has been in the family for quite a while, and the full bath is right next door in the hall.

3rd BR is downstairs with a California King bed. We call this the Snow White room. See photos and you'll see why.

Adjoining room has a double futon and a really comfortable, leather couch. Extra sheets, blankets & pillows are available. Laundry room is convenient too. Our hot tub is maintained regularly. Along with the hot tub on the deck is a large gas Bar-B-Q. The deck has benches built in around the sides, and cushions are available for comfortable seating. A small patio table and chairs are available (except in winter). In warmer months there is a picnic table in the yard with incredible views for a casual spot to eat or relax. The 6 acre lot is full of trees and open space for roaming. A small path leads to "the spot" where you can sit and watch the sun rise or set on the lake. We find this a truly magical spot in the evenings. We hope you do too. We appreciate guests who treat our home like their own. We will do what we can to make your stay a comfortable one.

About De Anna & Joe Hoyle

Since moving to Pagosa Springs in 2004, we have both said, ' this is where we feel most at home. We hope you will too. We left California soon after becoming empty-nesters and both our children have lived with us for short periods of time since then. Several of our friends have also stayed with us throughout the years. It is a place we love, and feel so fortunate that we can share it with others.

De Anna & Joe Hoyle purchased this House in 2004

Why De Anna & Joe Hoyle chose Pagosa Springs

We love our home and the Pagosa Springs area, but work takes us elsewhere. We started visiting Pagosa in 1993, and continued until we finally bought Dancing Bear Acres. We hope to come back to live there, but until we do, we love to share it with others. It is a relaxing retreat for us whenever we visit. Our routine is to make a cup of coffee and hit the hot tub first thing in the morning, although night-time star gazing is amazing from the warmth of the hot tub too.
We have had several large gatherings with family and friends, and enjoy the outdoor time. The current conditions don't allow for any outside fires - thank you for your understanding and keeping the space safe.

What makes this House unique

Joe had seen this house on the internet for about a year before finally making the decision to come see it. We made an offer that same day. We knew we wanted to move eventually, but when we finally came, the move happened pretty quickly. We feel blessed to be able to still spend some time there, and hope to have family gatherings in the future.

The cabin was perfect. Everything was as stated. We didn’t have to buy any extra kitchen necessities and we made Christmas dinner. The deer came up every day very close to the cabin and the bird watching was incredible. I would definitely recommend this cabin. I think the only complaint from any of the 3 couples that slept in the king beds, is that the beds were very hard. We almost bought pads for them. We also purchased smart TVs that worked well off the WiFi because the only television is down stairs. Everything was well maintained and very close to the lake or forest access roads and like 10 minutes from downtown. Great choice, overall.

Owner's Response:

Thank you Kelli for a wonderful review. So glad your stay was enjoyable and you had everything you needed.

Naturally beds are tricky...a matter of preference. Having some extra pads there may be helpful for those who prefer a softer mattress. We will look into providing that.

Always good to get guest feedback.

Hope you come back and enjoy a Pagosa stay again in the future.

Peace, De Anna & Joe.

Wonderful stay, house is great!

We loved our stay at the house. It had everything we needed and more. It is secluded and quiet but still close to town and to Wolf Creek for skiing. We loved having the deer in the neighborhood (and in the yard) to watch in the morning and evenings. The hot tub and huge deck were great also. When we come back to Pagosa Springs this house will be first on our list to stay at if available.

We would be honored to host you again sometime.

Be well and peace, De Anna & Joe

Amazing!

Wonderful location very close to town, and the house had every personal touch to make it feel like home. We really enjoyed the foosball ball table! Husband did say he wished there was a guitar there because he missed his. We would highly recommend Bear Acres to anyone looking to stay in the Pagosa Springs area.

Owner's Response:

How wonderful to know that foosball table is getting some use...It often feels like it's in the way, but nice to know you enjoyed it!

I have my guitar with me, and it isn't getting played much after thumb surgery. May have to make it's way back for our guests :)

We appreciate your kind words about the homey-feel. We love coming home to it too when we can, and hope you'll be back as well.

Peace, De Anna & Joe

Beautiful setting and room to enjoy nature outside or read a book or just relax and have a cup of coffee. The basement was perfect for my son to hang out and watch TV. Close enough to town for easy access but far enough out to enjoy the privacy. Beds were great! Slept like a baby every night!

Pagosa Springs, CO, USA

The 'Pagosah' hot springs are our favorite local hangout and a must do after skiing or hiking. The choice of three different venues for a therapeutic soak are what make these hot springs great. Our favorite for a swim, The Healing Waters Spa. For relaxation and views, try The Springs Resort. The recreational lake is walking distance from the house and provides a beautiful setting for bird watching, sunsets, moon rise and star gazing. Scenic biking trails are abundant throughout the area. We always take our guests to Treasure Falls, just up Hwy 160 about a 20 minute drive.
